In episode two of Mapping Evil, recorded in Australia with journalist Tori Shepherd, we pull apart the spider's web of cult control, starting with Mike's own case: the Zion Society, a polygamous doomsday cult operating in Ogden, Utah. It began when a woman walked into his office and said her cult was sexually abusing children. The spider at the center was Arvin Shreeve, a 61-year-old landscaper and self-proclaimed prophet who built his compound in plain sight, buying up houses in a closed community as they came for sale. Early GIS mapping tracked which homes the group was swallowing, house by house. When 70 officers finally hit those homes at once, 32 children went into protective custody and investigators uncovered thousands of counts of sexual assault. Twelve people went to prison, including Shreeve. We also cross the Pacific to Australia's most infamous cult, The Family under Anne Hamilton-Byrne, and to NXIVM, where Keith Raniere's self-help empire ended in a 120-year sentence. Through all three cases, Mike lays out what actually defines a cult: it's not the beliefs, it's the structure, everything pointed inward at the leader instead of outward at the people. He shares the red flags that matter, secrecy first among them, and practical advice for protecting vulnerable people and teaching children to question everything. #ZionSociety #Shreeve #OgdenUtah #TheFamily #AnneHamiltonByrne #LakeEildon #LexdeMan #NXIVM #KeithRaniere #FrankParlato #cult #cultleader #doomsdaycult #childabuse #ToriShepherd #MappingEvil #Esri #ArcGIS #crimemapping #CrimeAnalysis #GIS #map #Mapping #Maps #profiling #crime #criminal #criminalbehavior ======================================== Get 20% Off at www.Newspapers.com/profilingevil ======================================== Website: www.ProfilingEvil.com ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store

In the hills outside Melbourne, Australia, a yoga teacher named Anne Hamilton-Byrne convinced several hundred followers that she was Jesus Christ. Her members were not dropouts: they were doctors, lawyers, nurses, psychiatrists and social workers, and at one point they effectively controlled a private psychiatric hospital that fed her new recruits. Between 1969 and 1975, she collected 14 children who were not hers, registered every one as her own birth, and raised them behind a barbed-wire fence at a property on Lake Eildon. Their hair was bleached identical shades of blonde. They were starved, beaten, and dosed with sedatives, and at 14 they were given LSD in an initiation ritual. Police did not go through the gate until August 1987. In this episode of Conspiracy Theories, Cults, & Crimes, Vanessa Richardson traces how one woman assembled a family out of other people's babies, the professional network that made the paperwork possible, and the survivors who brought the whole thing down after every institution around them failed. Please note, this episode contains descriptions of child abuse and discussion of suicide and may not be suitable for all audiences.Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes to never miss a case!
